Forecast for the Week Ahead, July 21st

Tonight Clear spells at first but the cloud will slowly increase after midnight, thickening up significantly by dawn with the risk of some light and patchy rain and drizzle. Temperature 13-15°C in the north and east during the early hours before rising as we approach dawn, 15-17°C elsewhere

Tuesday High pressure will be slowly pushing in from the west and this will break up any early rain and give a day of broken cloud and occasional sunny spells, with most of the sunshine during the afternoon in the south and southwest of the island. Feeling pleasantly warm. Temperature 21-23°C Wind west-northwest 14-23mph

Thursday A small area of low pressure looks like cross the country from the west and this will bring a spell of rain, potentially quite heavy although the exact timing is uncertain at the moment, so please check back on Wednesday for a more detailed forecast for Thursday. Temperature 17-19°C Wind southwest 14-25mph Rainfall 3-6mm but with considerable uncertainty
Friday A generally fine day with sunny spells and broken cloud as the high pressure area begins to reassert itself once again. Temperature 20-22°C Wind west-northwest 7-16mph becoming west-southwest 11-18mph
Further Outlook
